"Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer

I very rarely give my opinion on a book. Ask friends of mine, it's true. But this book, wow, this book was everything it promised to be and more. If you haven't read the book I will try not to give away any spoilers, but I might while not intending to do so, please consider yourself warned.

I think one of the things I liked most about this book is that she kept upping the tension. One catastrophic event after another and the danger was real. Very real. And I loved the fact that Edward was what he was, a predator, a monster, something any human 'should' be afraid of. He was true to his own character, but he did grow in this book and for the most part tried to master himself.

Bella, on the other hand, I can so relate to. The clutzy teenager. How many of us went through that, are still going through it. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person I know of who can fall down by simply standing. (Don't ask, it's embarassing especially at my age)

While the first three chapters are a bit slower than the rest of the book, Ms. Meyers is slowly reeling you in, dropping hints at things we don't really know about and that I hope she will explore in other novels.

Both of the main characters are very complex, and this is what I call a character story not a journey story. But one very well done.

You would be remiss in not picking this up and reading it. Then when you are done there go to her website and read the first chapter from Edward's point of view. Cool stuff!

Loved, loved, loved this book. Everything a great love story should be and I look foward to reading her newest work New Moon.
